Nah, too much inventory tetris with almost no payoff. I just have one tab with all the crap ilvl60+ amulets/rings/belts, and once I have enough for a few sets I start collecting crap 2Hs/armors/helms/gloves/boots and turn them all in for chaos/regal orbs.
%q flasks and gems are worth keeping, of course (bauble and GCP recipes).

Just FYI, in case other people forgot like I did, Ice Bite support is now a great way to generate Frenzies instead of Blood Rage. I've never liked Blood Rage + VP and Ice Bite is decently competitive DPS wise with other supports. Scion Raider ascendancy + Ice Bite support is a good alternative to the frenzy arm of the ranger ascendancy. Now, does 50% less elemental reflect beat elemental status ailment immunity?
Shattering enemies, so pleasing.

So i'm actually stupid and forgot that slayer ascendency makes you immune to bleed, rip my idea since red trail needs you to bleed. I was originally trying to set it up with raider, might have to mess with it again on the passive tree without stacking as many frenzy charges as I did the first time (ended up coming up way short of where I wanted to be on life first time).
I wanted to make ice bite work for it but it's like the 5th best dps option I found according to PoB and I only had like 34% chance to freeze in the build if using it (10 from gem, 10 from passives, 14 from frostbite).

All right bros, I have about 50 chaos orbs that I've somewhat slowly farmed up, please give me some generic advice on where to focus next!
Here's my profile:

I'm mostly following this guide:
Forum - Ranger - [3.0 UPDATED!!] Sidefx Frost Blades - 80% cold pen, Insane clear speed All CONTENT "cheap" - Path of Exile
But there's a ton of small variations out there that I'm looking at.
The big ticket items I have on my list to buy are:
1. A touch of anguish or two (53c each)
2. A 6L chest (about 50 for a rare, non-corrupted version)
A smaller ticket item is to balance my cold resist (150 atm!) by replacing some cold resist items with chaos resist and crit.
Build wise I'm currently working on getting a bunch of crit nodes and generally just copying the tree from my previous link. I kind of want to try out acrobatics and Vaal Pact to see how they treat me. If I got Vaal Pact and a few lifeleech items it seems really powerful, but people don't seem to be going that route much so there's probably something I'm missing.
Difficulty wise I'm cutting through tier 8 rare maps without much issue, but I'm going through them fairly deliberately both to avoid deaths from the fact that I'm learning and also to train myself to play correctly. I have to try pretty hard on bosses but rarely die. Elemental reflect maps are difficult (but kinda fun). My typical cycle is to whirlwind to a group of mobs, pump one frostblade, drop ancestral protector, pop flasks (I have one key that hits all four), pump another frostblade, drop frostbomb, and then frostblade them down. A small group doesn't get ancestral protector / frostbomb.
I also added vaal haste to my setup last night.
I'm currently running a fairly defensive aura setup, using blasphemy+enfeeble, Arctic Armor and Herald of Ice. When I start repeating maps instead of progressing through the Atlas I'll likely get more offensive (herald of ice + assassin's mark, hatred).
1. What do you guys think I should spend my hard-earned chaos on first (6L or touch of anguish or something else). It feels like both should steadily drop over the next week, I'm not sure what items will maintain their value.
2. Anything I should tweak on my build?
3. Any gameplay element I'm missing?

6 link and then a helmet with enchant will probably be the best bang for your buck.

How often do casual people get banned for just that?
I've been in EQ multi-boxing world for so long so my perception is probably skewed but the idea of not being able to multi-bind is crazy to me.

I'm no expert but I believe what makes this build work with ranger is that +phys damage is converted 100% into cold, so all the +phys stuff in the rangerish area helps cold out.

My char, basically Mathil's take on the build. Dreamfeathers are 20-25c now. t10 are piss easy, a bit slower on bosses, I just don't run ele reflect, it's the only mod I avoid.

6link isn't in my opinion particularly strong, weapons are the most important. Helmet enchant is gonna be expensive as fuck, especially if you have to craft the helmet yourself. Starkonja's decent. Enchant your ring. Your amulet could be easily upgraded.
